This manual was created for sarge's debian-installer, based on the woody installation manual for boot-floppies, which was based on earlier Debian installation manuals, and on the Progeny distribution manual which was released under GPL in 2003. It was subsequently modified for use in the Ubuntu "Warty Warthog" release.
Listed below are contributors to both parent manuals, and the current manual. If you've been left out somehow, please let us know.
